Like I did for 2024, I’ll complete my summary of 2025 with one last post (possibly with a single exception) about the films I have watched during the year.

Let’s officially close 2025 today, with the films I watched in the last few weeks of the year.

I’m not even sure my travelling in 2025 deserves a post, because, despite the number of miles travelled was definitely high, it was mostly for work-related reasons.

Not much has changed in my listening habits this year; I seldom focus entirely on what I’m listening to, whether it’s podcasts or music; it’s more like a background to keep my brain busy during manual activities, or to stop the back of my brain from distracting me when I’m working.

There seems to be a lot of activity in the release of films by Kiyoshi Kurosawa, and at least three are happening between December and January in France and the UK, so expect to see several mentions of the director of Pulse in the next few weeks!

My gaming habits clearly identify two categories; the everyday games that I can play in the ‘off’ moments of the day and take less than fifteen minutes to play, and the ones I buy to entertain myself while travelling.
There are exceptions, but I’m not someone who unwinds at the end of the day by picking up a controller - as you know, my evenings are mostly spent watching films.
During this weird year, despite a lot of hours spent on trains, most of the trips were relatively short, and my ageing eyes don’t necessarily enjoy trying to interpret pixels on a very small screen, so overall I have played much less than in 2024.
